Hey girls! I was thinking about having a sleepover to celebrate my birthday today. I know it's kinda short notice but it would mean a lot to me if you could make it. I mean, we've never really had any serious bonding, right? Well, I think now is a good time as any to do that! We could probably have it on Friday just so there's a bit more time to

[Aki's got this sinking feeling that he should have known Rise's birthday was today...]

...It's your birthday?

[notjust_risette]

[Aaand this is the first time she's talked to him since the whole "another life fiasco," but that doesn't mean she's going to skip a beat.]

Uh-huh, it is. I almost forgot about it, too.

[rise_to_caesar]

[Good, she hasn't mentioned the previous few weeks. Akihiko's hoping he's in the clear with this.]

Huh, I guess I should get your a present then.

What do you want?

[notjust_risette]

[And she notices that he doesn't mention it either. It looked like she could use that to her advantage.]

Really? Hmm, what could I ask from you, Akihiko-kun...

[notjust_risette]

Oh, I know!

[A sly smile grows on her face.] How about a kiss?

[rise_to_caesar]

[blink, blink.]

A ki--

2/3

[rise_to_caesar]

Y-you mean--?!

3/3

[rise_to_caesar]

[AHEM COUGH COUGH take a deep breath, deep breath.]

...You're kidding, right?

[notjust_risette]

[She's very serious.]

Nope! I wouldn't kid about something like this.

[rise_to_caesar]

And that's really what you want for your birthday?

A... [he clears his throat, awkwardhiko is awkward]... F-from me?

[notjust_risette]

Sure! I mean, we were practically together two weeks ago but we never really kissed so--

[rise_to_caesar]

[And now he'll be trying to get out of this conversation as fast as he can.]

I... I need to go. I have work I need to finish.

[notjust_risette]

Oh, come on! It's just one little kiss. [She makes an effort to enunciate the last three words.]

[rise_to_caesar]

[And slowly, he's starting to resign and admit his defeat.]

...You're positive there isn't anything else you want?

[notjust_risette]

Nope.

[She'd be upset if he didn't grant her that one wish. And she pouts a little just to prove her point.]

It can't be that bad, right?

[rise_to_caesar]

I... Guess not.

I mean, one kiss couldn't hurt, could it? [sob, there goes saving himself for Mitsuru.]
